Measured my Chameleon Ridgeline...
I have had my Chameleon since the the Kickstarter campaign, and spent many nights in it. For some reason I recently seemed to have a tough time finding the sweet spot, and have even been fighting a bit of calf ridge. I decided to measure my ridgeline and was surprised when it measured 120" between the gathered ends! Based on the generally accepted 83% rule, it should be more like 110" for an 11 foot hammock. I used a biner to shorten it to 110", and I got comfortable real quick.
Question is, did the ridgeline stretch??? Or, did I just not notice it all this time??? For the record, I weigh 195 lbs, but was probably 25 lbs heavier when I first got my Chameleon.
Would appreciate it if some Chameleon owners would measure their taut ridgeline and let me know what they get.
Thanks

Mine measures 110”. It is barely used - maybe 6 nights total. November 2017 purchase. Made from lash-it. I have not had any other ridgelines stretch that are made of lash-it.
